Default DEVEK, is alive and well

I have seen many post regarding DEVEK. I have nothing to do with them other than I just bought product from them. Although the phone communication is spotty at this time.

They are in the middle of a move. Here is the Website:
http://devekperformance.com/

They seem to be nice people. I just bought a dash from them for the 85.

Now all i have to do is get that drivers seat fixed!

Just an FYI

We had a great time at DEVEK's warehouse sale on Saturday, and at the lunch afterwards. As far as I could tell, everybody present showed the vital signs of life...

I knew Devek had used parts, but I had no idea they had THAT many parts in the warehouse until I went there yesterday. Holy cow, they have a huge assortment of used parts, everything from dash and interior parts to short-blocks and everything in between. Literally bins full of parts stacked on steel shelves up to the ceiling. So if you need something, they probably have it. But be aware that it isn't as simple as Susan picking up the phone, then walking over to a bin full of parts to see if it's there. These are located in a seperate warehouse, across the bridge from where they are now. So it may take some time for Susan to locate what you need. With that being said, they probably have it if you can be patient. I know Susan would rather sell parts now than have to move them when the time comes.

Yes. the warehouse was quite a surprise... This sale appeared to be more focused on larger items like body parts, wheels, engine blocks, etc. I'm sure there will be more sales as they work on organizing the smaller parts as well.

I thought it was particularly interesting to see all these different engine blocks, including one that had the rare oil squirters for cooling the pistons.

A-freakin'-men!

Thanks to everyone who turned out and we will certainly be having another sale in the near future, and yes once we get some of the smaller items organized those will be more readily available. Big thanks to the "parts runners" Scott, Aaron and Eric for tracking down some little things for folks, though!

Dammit! I just paid $54 to Pelican for a hose I couldn't find on 928 Intl or 928 Spcl, and it took two f@#!ing weeks to arrive! Now, I'm not sure I'll make Sharks in the Park without bumming a ride.

Whatev's --I've heard a lot about Devek, so if it's true, I'll be shopping in Hayward soon!

Wow, that's a bunch of pieces...impressive. I see a bunch of stuff that I want! I wasn't aware that Devek had a dismantler's license...which is required in California to resell pieces from cars. I'll need to check into that with the State before I buy anything....just to protect myself from buying anything that might be improper.

Hey Mark...er, I mean Greg,

You must need some parts to get more power out of that custom intake race engine. You know, the one that only makes 500 rwhp.

All kidding aside, why be an a$$?

Have a nice day!

Here are some facts -

We are allowed BY LAW to dismantle 3 cars per year, and so are you....!! I hope you research engine builds better than you researched your statement "which is required in California to resell pieces from cars".

The End.
